Hi,

   Timing is everything in life, and as with all 
things, some things come at a bad time. Like, 
when you always catch updates at a store, and you 
miss the one update where they put up a cel you 
really wanted! 

  Or, you catch all the updates you want, and 
cant afford the cels =(. Usually, if a lot of 
cels I want come at once, and I know I can't pay 
for them, I just look at the cels I have....Then, 
I dont feel quite so bad.  I know that doesnt 
always totally work for me, but sometimes it 
helps. =)I wish I could give a scenario to make 
money appear, but I don't know any of those!


  Also, I don't remember who posted it, but I saw 
someone talking about getting spending money for 
cels and said who needs two kidneys anyway. So 
selling a kidney seemed to be a money making 
scheme someone came up with.....I know that was a 
joke and it made me laugh. So, I made a little 
scenario to deter this way of thinking. hee 
hee    

   The kidneys don't operate at full capacity 
anyway, so that is why you can have one. So, you 
want a really nice Belldandy AMG cel and say bye 
bye to a kidney! Why not, you have another one... 
But,the  problem with kidneys is that obvious 
symptoms of kidney trouble don't show up until 
your kidneys are operating at about 25% their 
capacity. So, if you don't get routine checkups, 
then your creatine level could be going up and 
you won't even know! So, then you do get it 
checked, your creatine is thru the roof and your 
kidneys aren't working right. Then you would need 
a transplant to get another kidney since you sold 
your first one for money for cels. And, the 
monoclonal antibodies they give you in order to 
prevent rejection of a transplant are designed to 
destroy your wbc's so you won't mount an immune 
response against the donor organ. The body has 
issues with foreign cels, even if they are meant 
to help. So, you are in bad bad shape. 

   So, the message of the day is, even if you 
really want cels, selling a kidney is a bad idea, 
even if you could get lots of money and a 
Belldandy cel!  

  Sorry for the drawn out scenario, but after 
taking A&P 1 2, Immmunology and Pathophysiology, 
I know way too much about the kidneys! 

Take care,
Robin, who really wants to graduate and stop 
taking all these really hard science classes!
